Pallaskenry then tipped over 2 points, one coming from a free, to level the scores at 4 points apiece. The two teams then traded scores to leave the score at 0-5 to 0-5. Hazelwood finished the half strongly, adding 3 more points. Then with 3 minutes left in the half, Diarmuid Buckley added a spectacular goal, picking up the ball on the 21, leaving 3 defenders in his wake and blasted the ball to the back of the net. Hazelwood went into the half holding a 6 point lead. The start of the second half saw Pallaskenry blast a goal past Hazelwood keeper Conor Egan. This saw Pallaskenry draw three points closer, leaving the score at 1-5 to 1-8. Hazelwood then, through the sticks of Diarmuid Coleman and David O Donnell, added another 2 points to leave Hazelwood five points clear. Pallaskenry, playing against a strong wind in the second half added another point before Jerry Lane landed his fourth point of the day. However this score would be Hazelwood’s last of the day leaving them on a scoreline of 1-11 to Pallaskenry’s 1-6. Before the end of the game Pallaskenry added another four points but it wasn’t enough in the end as Hazelwood team held there nerve to come out victorious by one point.
